About Deitzler Foundation
Deitzler Foundation makes targeted, passthrough philanthropic gifts to community funders rather than directly to program-specific nonprofits. Their recorded giving consists exclusively of two grants to the United Way Alliance of Mid-Ohio to support general charitable organizations, indicating a preference for funding intermediary community funds that allocate resources locally.

About Deitzler Foundation
Deitzler Foundation Inc. gives in a way that is unusually channelled through a single community intermediary: its recorded recent grants include repeated support for United Way Alliance of Mid-ohio in Parkersburg for charitable organizations, alongside direct gifts to local schools, churches, and service agencies. The pattern points to a foundation that uses both passthrough community funding and selective direct grants to support civic life in the Parkersburg-Vienna area. The foundation’s grants also show a broad but locally rooted mix of purposes. Recent awards supported legal services for underprivileged clients, foster care and adoption services, reproductive health for women, homeless services, and community activities at churches and schools. Individual grants in the record range from smaller gifts of a few thousand dollars to a $25,000 award, with the largest recent grants again going to the same United Way Alliance recipient in 2024 and 2025. That mix makes the foundation readable as a local general-purpose funder rather than a single-issue grantmaker. It backs community infrastructure, human services, and neighborhood organizations through organizations that already aggregate local need.
What Deitzler Foundation Funds
Legal and civil support appears as one of the clearest themes in the record. Deitzler Foundation Inc. gave $15,000 in 2023 and $10,000 in both 2024 and 2025 to Legal Aid of Wv in Charleston for legal services for underprivileged clients. Family and child welfare also shows up consistently. In 2024, the foundation awarded $10,000 to Children’s Home Society of Wv in Parkersburg for foster care and adoption, while Family Crisis Intervention Center received $5,000 in 2025 for advocates for victims of abuse and $5,000 in 2023 for family counseling. Health-related grants include $6,000 to Womens Health Center in Charleston for reproductive healthcare for women, $5,000 to Camden Clark Foundation in Parkersburg for free mammograms, and $5,000 to Planned Parenthood in Vienna for women’s services. The foundation also supported homelessness services with a $6,000 grant to Parkersburg Area Coalition- Homeless for services to the homeless.
How Deitzler Foundation Gives
Typical gifts are modest: the 25th percentile is $1,000, the median grant is $2,500, and the 75th percentile is $5,000. The recent record suggests a mix of small community gifts and a limited number of larger awards, with $25,000 at the high end. Grantmaking appears recurring rather than one-off in several cases. United Way Alliance of Mid-ohio received multiple awards across 2023, 2024, and 2025, and Trinity Episcopal Church was funded in three consecutive years as well. The foundation also files as an operating grantmaker rather than a DAF or program-related investment vehicle, and its active program allows unsolicited applications.
